The long-awaited dinner debate between Dan Savage and Brian Brown took place last night in Dan’s Seattle home. Many of you had sent me emails, tweets and Facebook messages wondering whether that dinner would ever take place, but Dan had asked that I not mention the exact date so the event could take place in a calm environment without confrontations …

So we were born that way, yet are utterly unworthy of the civil rights guaranteed all Americans by the U.S. Constitution. GOProud approves.

I didn’t even think to check the children’s programming category. Congrats to Dan and the It Gets Better team!

Denis Dison has the details at the Victory Fund’s Gay Politics blog: Dan Savage and the producing team behind the “It Gets Better” documentary specials for MTV and Logo have announced a new project that will examine openly LGBT political candidates and how they prepare to run for office. Filmmakers have been granted unprecedented access to the LGBT Candidate and …

“So we’ve gone from Boys in the Band to Stonewall through forty years of the gay rights movement and forty years of an anti-gay backlash funded by the religious right and twenty years of an ex-gay ‘movement’ that promised ‘freedom from homosexuality’ only to arrive right back where we started: Alan Chambers is a sad and pathetic man. He’s a …

“Mixing it up with GOProud last week got me thinking about why a gay man would endorse—much less ‘commit significant resources’ to help elect—a man who has pledged, if elected, to do as much harm as he possibly can to gay people. I mean, what kind of faggot supports a politician who would do him harm? Oh, right: the same …

JMG reader Paul/Toronto reminds us that GOProud isn’t above using “faggot” when it suits THEIR purpose. Of course, Jimmy LaSalvia’s tweet never made it onto Breitbart or was gleefully forwarded by hate groups.

The right wing has renewed their attack on Dan Savage after he called GOProud “house faggots” following their endorsement of Mitt Romney. Last night Bryan Fischer gleefully tweeted the link to this Breitbart.com post: Two gay slurs in one Tweet. The gay left must be proud of their self-appointed spokesman. So must the Obama Administration, which has labeled this massive …

“The Apostolic Truth Tabernacle is in Greensburg, Indiana. That’s the town where Billy Lucas was bullied to death for being perceived to be gay by his classmates. I wonder if they stood up and cheered at Apostolic Truth Tabernacle when Lucas died—hey, another homo in hell. I wonder if any of Lucas’s tormenters attend services at Apostolic Truth Tabernacle. And …

Just posted to NOM’s blog: “Dan — I accept and will look forward to debating you at your dining room table. As I said in my challenge to you, anytime, any place. While I appreciate the invitation that you have extended to my wife, she will not be able to attend. She is a full-time mom with seven beautiful children …

Dan Savage has set the time and place for the one-on-one debate that NOM’s Brian Brown challenged him to earlier this month. Per this week’s Savage Love podcast, Dan has invited Brown and his wife to a dinner at his Seattle home with Dan and his husband, where New York Times columnist Mark Oppenheimer, who has previously interviewed both parties, …

“Today Barack Obama announced that he supports the freedom to marry. Personally. Because he knows monogamous same-sex couples who are raising children. (Non – monogamous couples aren’t allowed to get legally married, of course, unless they’re straight.) But the president also supports the ‘concept’ of states ‘deciding the issue on their own.’ (States like, say, North Carolina, which yesterday banned …

Responding to Tony Perkins’ call for prayers for Dan Savage, a clever JMG reader has repurposed a YouTube classic. I sent the clip to Dan this morning and he’s posted it with this response: Oh, Tony. If quoting their own scriptures to Christians amounts to “persecuting Christians,” then every Baptist minister in the country is guilty of persecuting Christians. And …

Peters says he’s “looking forward” to Brian Brown’s debate with Dan Savage. This is the first confirmation by NOM that they will actually follow through on Savage’s acceptance of Brown’s challenge.

“I would put out this challenge to folks who are listening: to put Dan Savage on the top of your prayer list and pray for him because I believe he has the potential to be a modern day Saul of Tarsus. I mean, just think if the Lord got a hold of his heart and changed him and turned him …

“How can we quote the Bible in support of our moral values when the Old Testament contains laws calling for the stoning of a woman who lost her virginity before marriage? Actually, based on biblical principles, both Judaism and Christianity teach that such laws are not for today.* But could you imagine what America would look like if sex outside …

We need get the real dirt on Miss Flaming Thing, who interviews Matt Barber in this clip.

HURRAY! The back story is over here. I told Dan they should make this a pay-per-view event and let each side sell tickets to benefit their cause.
